Just be...

try for once to just be,
hard it is, nevertheless just be
for if you strive harder than you should,
you reap nothing but melancholy
strive just enough and then, just be

for life's granted in fractions,
in fractions it must be lived
don't turn your back,
for alive is that you choose to see

choices are sometimes the biggest assassins,
they make us want to be guided, but guided by who?
for if you own yourself, and no one else does,
you have got to believe
to do your part and then, just be
